目的本研究的目的是描述爱斯基摩人的营养素摄入量，并与全国营养素摄入量进行比较，确定关键营养素的膳食来源，并评估健康饮食指数（HEI）在测量生活在阿拉斯加原住民农村社区的Yup'ik Eskimos的饮食质量方面的效用。参与者和设计（年龄14 - 81岁），2003年9月期间居住在阿拉斯加州育空地区Kuskokwim河三角洲的三个村庄。统计分析进行了斯皮尔曼相关变量之间的关联。结果青年得分高于老年人，尽管类似的营养摄入量。总体饮食质量普遍较低;所有参与者的饮食中有63%被归类为差。虽然HEI服务，以确定有关饮食质量方面的关注领域，它是有限的，在其能力来检测传统foods.Conclusions的积极价值，传统食品和健康的市场食品，包括丰富的纤维和钙的来源，应予以鼓励。虽然传统食品是能量和营养的重要来源，但市场食品构成了饮食的优势，强调了根据西方框架（如HEI）适当修改饮食质量指数的重要性。
Objective The objectives of this pilot study were to describe the nutrient intake of Yup'ik Eskimos in comparison with national intake, identify dietary sources of key nutrients, and assess the utility of the Healthy Eating Index (HEI) to measure diet quality of Yup'ik Eskimos living in rural Alaskan Native communities.Participants and design A single 24-hour recall was collected from 48 male and 44 female Yup'ik Eskimos (aged 14 to 81 years), who resided in three villages in the Yukon Kuskokwim River Delta, AK, during September 2003.Main outcome measures HEI scores, nutrient intake, and traditional food intake. Statistical analyses performed Spearman correlations for associations between variables.Results Youth scored higher than elders despite similar nutrient intakes. Overall diet quality was generally low; 63% of all participants' diets were classified as poor. Although the HEI serves to identify areas of concern with respect to diet quality, it is limited in its ability to detect the positive value of traditional foods.Conclusions Traditional foods and healthful market foods, including rich sources of fiber and calcium, should be encouraged. Although traditional foods were important sources of energy and nutrients, market foods composed the preponderance of the diet, emphasizing the importance of appropriately modifying a diet quality index based on a Western framework, such as the HEI.
